In tho History of tho Country, IA

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-The Raill9uy Age to.
morrow will say: "The year 1887 has sur
passed all other years In tho extent Of
railway mileage constructed in tho United
States. When. ui1 months ago, the pre-
dic.ion was made in these columnH that
the total new mileage for the year would
not be less than 10000 miles, with the
likelihood OF surpassinX the record Of
lss2, tho year Of greatest railway
construction in tho history Of the country,
1t was not generally believed. But the
figures obtained by careful investigation
throughout the year and confirmed By
official information now proves tho pre-;
dictlon to have been more than warranted.
Our returns show that during 1887 no less
than 1924 miles OF new main line track
were added to the railway system Of
the United States, no account bo-.ss
Ing takGn In this of the hundreds of
milea Of sido track built, nor Of the thou.
